Our builder won't allow us to change the layout of the kitchen in any way, but I hate the empty dead space of the kitchen next to the pantry. Should we add upper and lower cabinets and countertop? My worry is it might look odd and a but like an afterthought being cabinet-pantry-fridge-remaining countertops. That empty area has no electrical outlets, otherwise I'd love the idea of making that the coffee bar area. Photo in comments.
